    Chinese people will need 30 years of disposible income to purchase an apartment; compare to 3 in the U.S.

    Who can afford a condo with 3 years disposable income in the US? My spouse and I make above average money in a below average cost city and we couldn’t afford a condo here.

            Honestly, I am quite surprised how low tankies are willing to go to defend China. As a Chinese, it is very disheartening to me that people have never experienced or seen the suffering of living under an authoritarian government, are more willing to blindly defend it, than having a intellectual discussion.

            Compare the prison population of the US to China’s lol.
